Ryan M. Greene, M.D., Ph.D. - Facial Plastic Surgeon Ft. Lauderdale, Plantation, Boca Raton and Miami Florida

Ryan Greene, MD, PhD, is a double board certified facial plastic surgeon and a Fellow of the highly elite American Academy Of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. He is board certified by the American Board of Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery and the American Board of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery. He also serves as a Voluntary Assistant Professor at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine.

Dr. Greene has established one of the premier facial plastic surgery practices in South Florida. His vision has been to offer patients a ‘boutique’ style practice that emphasizes quality and individualized care. Known for his thorough consultations and ‘customized’ approach, Dr. Greene emphasizes natural aesthetic results. His contributions to medicine reach far beyond his medical practice, as an educator, author, and researcher. Throughout his career, he has authored numerous textbook chapters and articles in peer-reviewed journals. Through continued research, he continues to advance the field of facial plastic surgery. He also maintains involvement in resident education through lectures and training in surgical skills courses. Finally, Dr. Greene believes in giving back to the community through charitable endeavors such as his annual Evening to Celebrate Classic Beauty event.

Dr. Greene is a product of exceptional training and education. He obtained his undergraduate degree from Wake Forest University, where he majored in Biology. After spending time researching infectious diseases at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, he obtained a Ph.D. in molecular biology at the University of Georgia. For his Ph.D., he was awarded a prestigious grant from the National Institutes of Health. Dr. Greene’s research led to the development of numerous patents and was instrumental in developing a diagnostic test that is currently used in developing countries. Through his exposure to medicine and public health, he ultimately chose to follow his calling to become a physician.

At the University of Texas Medical School at San Antonio, he graduated at the top of his class. He excelled to the top 3% in his class in clinical rotations, and was selected for the Alpha Omega Alpha medical honor society. While in medical school, Dr. Greene developed an interest in facial aesthetic surgery. His understanding of art and aesthetics, coupled with his natural surgical skill, drew him to the unique specialty of facial plastic and reconstructive surgery.

With a passionate interest in facial plastic surgery, Dr. Greene then completed a residency in head and neck surgery at the University of Illinois at Chicago. This training program is considered by many to be the finest training ground for facial plastic surgery in the U.S. Here he trained with world-renowned leaders in facial plastic surgery, developing his craft. With his strong candidacy, Dr. Greene was among an elite group selected for a fellowship in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery. Here he acquired additional advanced training in facial plastic surgery at the University of Miami.

Dr. Greene has received many awards and honors throughout his medical career. He has also published numerous landmark research articles and textbook chapters on facial plastic surgery. He was notably invited to serve as a Contributing Editor in a groundbreaking textbook on neurotoxins (Botox, Dysport) and injectable fillers. This textbook is used by practitioners around the world as a reference for the use and technique of injectable agents. Other textbook chapters he has authored on topics such as rhinoplasty, neurotoxins (Botox), and neck rejuvenation have served as important contributions to the medical literature.

Dr. Greene takes pride in delivering compassionate care to each and every patient. His philosophy is simple: Do whatever it takes to ensure patient satisfaction, without compromising integrity, patient safety, or ethics. It is Dr. Greene’s belief that this guiding principle will optimize patient outcomes and will best serve his patients and the community.
